Cimicifugic acid D

SKU: orb3141889

Description

Cimicifugic acid D (2-Caffeoylpiscidic acid) is a benzyl tartaric acid ester that can induce vasorelaxation and an endothelium-dependent relaxation mechanism in pre-constricted rat aortic strips. During norepinephrine-induced contractions in rat aortic strips, Cimicifugic acid D inhibits extracellular Ca2+ influx through receptor-operated Ca2+ channels (ROC), while it does not affect voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDC) or K+-induced contractions.
